We recently had a family member get married, and they had their wedding here at Woodsmith Estates…read morein Batavia. Before we received the invitation, I had never heard of this place, so I checked the venue's website for more info. I noticed that their prices for weddings are really fantastic. If you're looking for an affordable but picturesque setting to say: 'I Do," then this place is for you. The ceremony was conducted outside next to a pond, the reception was held in a barn. That whole 'barnyard' aesthetic is huge right now, so I can see this place booking up quickly once more people know about it. There is a fire pit outside, too. The bathrooms are located off the barn, they're in a trailer sort of structure (but they were decorated nicely). While sitting at the firepit in between dinner and the 'first' dances, I happened to get chatting with the lady who owns this place (she was cleaning up the 'ceremony' decor). She said that she opened this place because she wanted to provide a nice place where people can get married affordably. She didn't care about making a big profit. I thought that was nice. She also allows couples to 'help' other couples by sharing tent rentals or donating flowers to other couples. It is all very sweet. And now, I want to address any future brides & grooms who plan on getting married here: please tell your guests ahead of time that they will be walking on uneven terrain and will be either outdoors or in a not-temperature-regulated barn for the duration of the affair, with bathrooms that can only be reached by climbing a few stairs. Please tell them to wear comfortable shoes and to bring an extra layer. Here's what we experienced: A lot of the women wore heels, and they were not expecting to have to park on the grass then walk through more grass to get the the ceremony & barn area. Their heels were sinking into the grass with each step and a lot of them ruined their shoes. There were patches of gravel, too, which the high-heeled women had a hard time navigating. The floor of the barn looked like stamped concrete; pretty, but not very feet-friendly, especially in heels. Anyone wearing heels was miserable. And you know what? That's not the venue's fault - it is the bride & groom's responsibility to let their guests know ahead of time what sort of footwear is most appropriate. Yellow jackets were in full swing because it was an Autumn wedding. Two guests seated near me were allergic to bees & wasps and did not have their Epi-pens because they didn't know that we were all going to be outside. Again: the bride and groom should have let their guests know that they'd be outside. I believe that this venue allows you to 'bring your own food,' whether you DIY it, have a food truck, or hire a caterer. The bride & groom didn't include dinner options on the invitation, when dinner time rolled around we learned that it was a buffet. One guest was allergic to chicken, and that was the only meat available. So that guest just didn't eat.

Nice enough church social hall. There are a ton of these places in Batavia. The event we were here…read morefor was a retirement party. Maybe 100 people total present. The hosts of the party had it catered and the food was very good. So, you can bring outside catering in. Plenty of parking behind the hall too.

There is a…read moresnack stand and a banquet hall where they serve incredibly delicious food for lunch and/or dinner. I came here for a golf tournament and it was so well put together. Plenty of parking and lots of golf carts for everyone involved. There are 27 holes available... 3 sets of 9 broken up by location (east, west and south I believe). It's a massive place! My only complaint was the sand pits were extremely hard and gritty which made them more difficult than normal to scoop your ball from the traps. Ah well, if I was any good at golf, I wouldn't have to worry about them anyway! I would love to play on this course again!

If you have a large party- beware they can apparently only cook 2 pizzas at a time in their oven so we did have quite a few people in our party wait awhile for their pizza while others got their food. The food was good. I had the bucatini carbonara with shrimp, which was cooked to perfection. The meal was extremely rich in flavor, which was awesome but couldn't eat too much of it! The pizzas were all really good. They have a lot of crust on each pizza (the ingredients weren't really spread too far along the dough) One more thing I must add- there was no music! No nothing. Just voices echoing from our party and the bar... please add music!

Stayed here with my son on our way to Cooperstown. On par with most Holiday Inn's we've stayed at…read more The rooms were clean and they had a nice indoor pool and exercise room. The morning breakfast was standard for this chain, but evidently their convection oven was broken (that is what the lady working the breakfast area said) and they were having to cook everything by hand, so at times food took a bit to get out. I did have to call for towels since there was none in our room upon arrival. The hostess said they were swamped trying to get all the rooms ready because there was a big concert the day before and the hotel sold out. I wanted to do laundry (since we're half way through our 8 day trip), but I noticed the laundry room was out of order. I asked a lady from room service if there was another self laundry room on a different floor and she said, "No, but give me your laundry and I'll do it for you in our big laundry room." I thought that was extremely nice of her and sure enough it was done later that night when we returned from a ball game. High marks for them for taking care of that for us. Hostesses were nice and despite some issues, this was a good stay for us on our way to Cooperstown.

Walked in at last minute (11 pm) for a hotel room. They had three rooms left because the pga tour…read morewas in Rochester. The desk clerk told me it would be $299. I was pretty shocked at the price but the clerk said she heard other hotels were charging $1000/ night. I really needed a room so I took it. King suite. One washcloth (there were two of us)!!NO trash can. No Kleenex in the Kleenex box. I don't believe the sheets were clean- found a hair when pulled back. Soap dispenser in shower was not affixed to wall- Just sitting in tub side. Heater made ticking sounds (similar to when you are waiting for a flame to light on a gas stove) every five minutes or so... lasting about a minute. The clerk had told us they had recent renovations. We noticed lots of paint spots all over the bathroom floor. Pool closed due to maintenance. At breakfast- two sets of tongs broke apart when we tried to use them. They only had 5" plates to eat on (kitchen monitor told us "that's all they gave me"). When I used the pancake machine she came out of kitchen and said "oh, is that working?" I said yes. Unfortunately I said it too soon. It spit out one pancake and then stopped working (it was supposed to give two). She was buzzing around and said she needed to clean it up because "corporate is coming today." I'm not one to bitch and get a discount. We were just amused by all of it. For $300 we expected better, but it is what it is. The desk clerk was very nice. We just told her about the room and said they may wish to address those items before someone else comes in. We did notice that she did not apologize or seem surprised by our less than perfect stay. There are many hotels around there. I am an IHG rewards remember so I try to find Holliday inns for my stays. Rewards member or not, I would not stay here again. I would choose one of the others in this location. They share a parking lot with a Hampton inn. Next time, we will try there.
